Wine Style: What’s your way to W.I.N.E down!!!

What is your favorite wine? 

How do you W.I.N.E down at the end of the day?

Life can be so overwhelming sometimes it makes you want break down and cry. I am a wife, a mother, a caregiver for my mother who has dementia; let me say it’s a hard job and at times I don’t know if I am capable of doing it. I had took a step back from working in corporate America in the pharmaceutical industry to care for my mother. When I say, I had to learn of ways to take time for myself in-order to be there wholeheartedly for my family. I will share some of those here with you; you may use the ways I have shared or create your own that works and best fits you.

Let me tell you a bubble bath, music, a glass of wine  and the bottle next to the is one of my favorite ways to relax after a long day.

No matter what age or stage you are in your life, you deserve that night to yourself. We are constantly on the move and sometimes forget about yourself and what we need to keep going. Well, I’m here to tell you if you are a single mother/father, married, entrepreneur, 9-5/overnight working, etc Me Time is important. After, taking care of kids, spouse, cooking/cleaning, trying to be a good friend all the above let’s just say F**k that take time out for yourself.

Going on a date with yourself sometimes is another way to get that Me Time. No one calling you mom, asking a 100 questions, you don’t have to entertain a conversation that you may have already talked about before or you don’t have to hear drama or give advice that they just won’t listen to anyway. It’s just you and your thoughts.

Another way is going to sit in your garage or backyard and make a space to enjoy the weather, play some music, read a book, write in your journal or just sit and relax in peace and quiet.

I know you maybe scared or feel weird about going out by yourself but if you don’t try it you really wouldn’t know how it makes you feel. If this helps start once a month going to Starbucks take a book, grab a Frappuccino and  a seat for about 30 minutes. To make it even simpler take a walk to your nearest park by yourself breathe in that air and exhale all the negativity, stress, anxiety or whatever feeling that you are experiencing. If you feel great; increase your time and move on to going to have dinner with yourself and so forth.

Taking the time out for yourself can sometimes be difficult but GO FOR IT!!?Self-care is important for your everyday life, make a self-care routine for a better mental and physical health.

Here is one of the brands of wine I like to drink; Yes Way Rose, is  smooth, refreshing and perfect for make mixed cocktails. Heres their website www.yeswayrose.com, check it out they have great cocktail recipes. 

Look up different ways on self-care ideas that are suitable for you and apply them. Again, it maybe hard to get started but once you start it will become apart of your routine and you will feel a sense of calmness and peacefulness.

Make time for you!!!

What’s the importance of Me Time?

How do you spend your Me Time?

Are you ready for this Milk & Honey... 

She-Me-Her at 40… Which one are you or are you all 3!!!

Failure Will Lead To Success

  What is failure?  No one ever thinks about failing but when it happens what do you do?  We all have failed in some form or fashion but do you get back up again to get to the finish line? Life will continue to bring on challenges and obstacles, when you feel like your back is against the wall and you feel like everything in your life began to crumble. As things begin to look cloudy and it seems like things will never let up, my mind races and I don't know how to stop it times. When it feels like I try and try and nothing is ever good enough. Let me tell you feeling like you have it all and have thing planned out, well let me be the one to tell you that life you give you lemons repeatedly.  Let me be transparent here; I was at the top of my game, high paying career, I was engaged and ready to move to build a new future. Well things changed, I was working for a while until I resigned because to care for my mother and things were changing from Covid. Yes, we lived in a...

My Childhood Trauma: How I Didn’t Let It Define Me

  If you have never experienced growing up in a domestic household then let be the one to tell you those memories haunt you into adulthood. Reaching the age of 40 I dig deeper into my inner child and when I say it’s a roller coaster of emotions. At a young age I heard lot going on in our household that my big sister and big brother (stepbrother) tried to protect me from. We lived in a household where there was domestic violence going; at that time I’m not sure what it was called but it scared the heck out of me because my mother was getting her ass beat. It would be arguing, yelling, glass throwing, my mama running screaming stop, walls being punched because my daddy (my stepfather) missed my mama face. I would be so scared that I would get in the bed with my sister and cry and she would cover my ears and rock me to sleep. My sister and I are 10 yrs apart so imagine being a little girl yourself and making sure your little sister is protected.    I could remember us (my ma...

LOOKING BACK :Through The Lens

 As I lay here 3 days before my hip replacement surgery, I will be 40 in 8 months and I begin to look back over my life I began to think things over (verse from my favorite song “I’ve Got A Testimony”). I have experience some tough obstacles that I can truly say I have overcame with therapy and the love of my supportive and loving wife Angie, children, family and friends. I became a teenage single mother at 15 years old and had to make the best life for my daughter while dealing with the death of  my grandfather whom passed literal  days after I gave birth to my oldest daughter and finding my Papa (my mama’s fiancé) OD in the back of his limo. They were big supporters and I felt my world was lost. Not everyone supported me but I had to say to  HELL with them and make it work the best way I thought I knew how. I had to grow up fast because I had this little person depending on ME!!! Realizing that it was my baby and I against the world, I did any and everything to mak...
